Nine Yards has been part of the Tees Valley since 1992, helping people, communities and our environment to flourish.
At our core, we’re about enabling healthier, happier and more sustainable lives – tackling poverty in all its forms by working in partnership with a diverse range of community groups, volunteers, public bodies and private partners.
Everything we do is guided by our THRIVE values.
We are Tenacious in overcoming challenges, take a Holistic view of health, wellbeing and the environment, stay Responsive to the needs of the communities we serve, are Inclusive in bringing people together, Visionary in planning for the future, and Empowering in giving communities the tools to lead change themselves.
Our projects are as varied as they are practical: from improving access to affordable, healthy food, to energy efficiency, active travel, climate action and community wellbeing.
What unites them all is the tangible difference they make in people’s everyday lives and the way they inspire positive change.
At Nine Yards, we don’t just respond to change – we create it. We aim to be thought leaders, innovators and champions for our communities, helping shape a Tees Valley where people, communities and the environment can thrive together.
